Supplement dated May 28, 1997 to
Prospectus dated May 28, 1997
The following replaces the first paragraph under the heading "Performance
Information - Other Portfolios":
From time to time the Company may advertise performance data for the
various other Portfolios under the Contract. Such data will show the percentage
change in the value of an Accumulation Unit based on the performance of an
investment medium over a period of time, usually a calendar year, determined by
dividing the increase (decrease) in value for that Unit by the Accumulation
Unit value at the beginning of the period. This percentage figure will
reflect the deduction of any asset-based charges and the fees and expenses of
the Portfolio but will not reflect the deduction of any Withdrawal Charge or
Annual Contract Maintenance Charge. The deduction of any Withdrawal Charge and
Annual Contract Maintenance Charge would reduce any percentage increase or make
greater any percentage decrease.
The Prospectus and SAI are dated May 28, 1997.
